Amazing lifestyle book with design tips

I've already read the book cover to cover! It's a great reminder to slow down and make time to be. My biggest design takeaway is that it's not the trendy new paint color or fancy new couch that matter the most. Alexandra embraces all design styles and teaches that it's the little things that can bring the most joy to you and your home.

Beautiful Book Capturing All Things Hygge

Alexandra’s book is beautiful. The images are stunning and the content is thoughtful. As someone who loves and adores cozy spaces, I really enjoy flipping through this book for inspiration but also to admire the different takes on what Hygge means. It’s a wonderful coffee table book but also an anytime book.

Loved this book!!

This book is a godsend! I ironically ordered when we were being told to self quarantine and the authors essence was inspirational and soothing. Based on her recommendations I was able to make our home more cozy and "hygee." I would read whenever I needed a dose of calm that was akin to a vacation. Definitely recommend!

She likes her sheepskins! But, an inspiring and quick read.

I enjoyed the laid back feel with a focus on making the home suitable to what is most important--relationships. All of her pictures are from one or two houses--clearly hers and maybe one other. There is a lot of repetition, but overall, I enjoyed the book and read it all the way through in one evening.

Beautiful photography. The Hygge Life store in Eagle-Vail, Colorado is worth a visit to see in person, Alex, the author and her husband of whom emulate such a way of life. Cheers and a big thanks for sharing Hygge life to all of us!!!

Simple. Beautiful. Inspiring.

I’m a sucker for interior design - especially the Scandinavian variety. This book is full of blended spaces with plenty of Nordic influence while also promoting a self-catered approach that goes beyond today’s popularized minimalism. The photos and storytelling are warm, inviting, and so inspiring. Love the simple mission of this book (dwell/gather/be) and can’t wait to implement the elements in my own home.

Relax into Dwell, Gather, Be

In the era of Marie Kondo and spa yoga, Dwell, Gather, Be carries us into a timeless space. This book is about the glue and mortar that holds us together, the way we allow our souls to shine and be nourished with friends, family and home.This isn't about coastal or mountain modern, mid century, traditional or transitional--it is as simple as a state of being, with delightful prompts on how to get there.Beautiful to look at, engaging to peruse, and a solid reminder that we owe ourselves the grace and dignity of daily, small pleasures that make our lives truly worth living.

Inspiration and Magic inside

I purchased two copies of this book and am going to buy more for friends as Christmas presents. This is more than just a book. You can curl up with a cup of tea and a blanket and get inspired (I redecorated my apartment after reading!). It's quality time with yourself, which is one of the concepts of Hygge. The book perfectly exudes the essence of the Hygge movement and I really enjoyed her voice and personal experiences. The images are stunning and it's just very well done.

Intertwining personal with historic Hygge -

"Dwell, Gather, Be: Design for Moments" by Alexandra Grove investigates how the Hygge movement came to be and how it touches our daily life. Alexandra does an amazing job at explaining the Hygge life on an intimate level. She is able to highlight the importance of understanding the minute details that surround us and transforming them into our own healing journey. I like how the book intertwines her personal story with historic details on Hygge. Not to mention, the book is filled with beautiful photography! Eye-catching -

The balance of being timely and timeless

The difficulty of a design book is that as tastes and styles change it becomes dated, by focusing on moments as opposed to things Dwell. Gather. Be. becomes a lifestyle reference guide you will revisit for years. Not only is the book packed with artfully gorgeous photos that perfectly compliment the insightful and welcoming writing, its beautiful aesthetic from the embossed cover and narrow dust jacket to the high quality paper make this a piece you will be proud to display. Grab a blanket, light a candle and get ready to Hygge with Dwell. Gather. Be.

A great wedding gift

"Dwell, Gather, Be" not only makes a very nice coffee table book and beautiful addition to our living room, but the idea of designing one's home around meaningful moments makes this book such a special wedding gift. What more could you want for loved ones than for them to cultivate a home that inspires community, gratitude, present moment awareness, and love in their new life as a married couple? The writing is lovely and the photographs are inspiring. We bought several as gifts but had to have one for ourselves, too!
